Ipswich Town will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 5-2 defeat to Manchester United when they take on Liverpool in the Premier League round 3. Despite the heavy loss, the Tractor Boys showed plenty of attacking threat, particularly in the first half, and will be hoping summer signing Julio Enciso can make another impact. Daizen Maeda is also expected to start, while Matusiwa, Taylor, and Philogene remain sidelined. Ipswich have been particularly strong at home lately, winning 67% of their last six matches there and averaging 2.33 goals per game.
Liverpool, meanwhile, head into the clash following an entertaining 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Summer signing Munoz opened his account, but the Reds missed several clear-cut chances and will be looking for greater efficiency in front of goal. Big-money recruit Bradley Barcola could make his debut, while Jeremie Frimpong may drop to the bench after an underwhelming display against Forest. Liverpool have scored in all of their last 10 matches, while their recent games have produced an average of 3.60 goals.
As both teams have averaged at least 3.4 total goals per game across their last 10, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Ipswich to Score (Liverpool struggle defensively), and Both teams to score (Ipswich have scored in 90% of their last 10, while Liverpool have seen BTTS land in 70%).
This Premier League match will be played on Friday 4 September 2026 at 20:00.
